Making Plans 929 Posted February 3, 2020 "Liverpool are far away, they are unstoppable and a lot of points clear," said Guardiola. "The last two seasons it was a guy, the owner of the Premier League, who said that can't happen again and it isn't good for the Premier League when City win the title in that way. "So now it is Liverpool you have to be concerned about that if you are the owner of the Premier League." I mean what is that all about/ It's dangerous stuff and what exactly does he expect the PL to level things up? Funny how VAR suddenly springs to mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 4,938 Posted February 3, 2020 Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you! AKA, another conspiracy theory. Who owns the PL, BTW? 🤨 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,071 Posted February 4, 2020 It sounds to me like a swipe at the inconsistency. Man City ran away with it and those comments were made. Liverpool are doing the same, yet its nothing but plaudits 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,349 Posted February 5, 2020 Man City have won it plenty of times in the last decade, Liverpool haven’t. There isn’t a VAR conspiracy, Liverpool have just been superior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a grip. Exactly this. It doesn't matter whether people like them or not, or if people want to believe that there is some sort of conspiracy at play. Their achievements cannot be dismissed. There is no conspiracy, they have just been incredible. Of course for some people, dislike leads to claiming they definitely don't deserve success and they will find any reason to explain why it doesn't count! But of course they do and it does.
